Canned. Deep golden, airy head. Oranegy aroma. Sweet and mellow with lingering flavour of aging vegetables, old socks and butyric acid. Leaves a flavour in your mouth that is reminiscent of the one an avid beer drinker has in his mouth the day after a serious beer festival. This beer is not lacking in taste, it is just tasting plain awful!

What duff said - very similar to VB.

Can. Amberish colour with a short head. Aroma of malt, caramel and hops. The flavour is sweet with bit toastish malt, bitter hops and some caramel. Pretty simple brew.

from Bier-Bienne - golden-bronze colour with an irregular foam; flowery hints in the nose; medium-bodied and a tart effervescence; sweet and with a shy bitterness; quite dry flowery finish

800 ml bottle. Pale golden colour, thin white head. Honey malt aromas, apple, and candyish. Flavour is slightly malty, light honey, caramel, and a bit of dust. Nothing really special or distinct, but better than many other macro lagers.

Can. From Australia (gift from a travelling colleague). Served at 4C. Yellow lager with a thick big bubbled head. Rather unpleasant sulfur laden corny aroma. In mouth, actually not all bad. Rather sweet malt, with actually some nice crisp hops in finish. Drinkable, after all.

similiar to Victoria Bitter which is from the same brewer, but even worse.
